Research synthesis in software engineering: A tertiary study (2011, methodology): “S10 is also a scoping study; they referenced Robson [46] for the synthesis method, and claimed that the study was a ‘‘grounded approach.’’”
Using video-stimulated recall as a basis for interviews: some experiences from the field (2009, background): “In a semi-structured interview, as Robson (1993) describes it, ‘the interviewer has clearly defined purposes, but seeks to achieve them through some flexibility in wording and in the order of presentation of questions’.”
Rethinking Convenience Sampling: Defining Quality Criteria (2012, background): “The problems with convenience sampling are so acute that Robson (1993) calls it as a cheap and dirty way of doing research.”
Are leaders' well-being, behaviours and style associated with the affective well-being of their employees? A systematic review of three decades of research (2010, background): “(5) It reported on field research, that is, laboratory studies were excluded, as in such studies the connection with and application to real-life situations may not be warranted (Robson, 1994).”
Trainee and recently qualified physical education teachers' perspectives on including children with special educational needs (2009, methodology): “The open-ended responses were analysed using protocol analysis (Robson 2002; Marshall and Rossman 2006) in order to provide a rich insight into the general and specific issues related to trainee and recently qualified PE teachers’ perceived readiness to include children with SEN.”
In search of strategic assets through cross-border merger and acquisitions: Evidence from Chinese multinational enterprises in developed economies (2016, methodology): “A detailed case study approach is a useful strategy in analysing real life organisations (Robson, 2002) as it can provide a much richer, deeper and broader understanding than a large sample quantitative approach (Eisenhardt & Graebner, 2007; Morris & Wood, 1991).”
Understanding student engagement in online learning environments: the role of reflexivity (2016, neutral): “Robson (2011) indicated that it is important to find ways to develop potential alternative explanations in qualitative research.”
In search of profound empathy in learning relationships: understanding the mathematics of moral learning environments (2010, methodology): “Purposive sampling is accepted in ethnographic research (Robson, 1993) and the”
Guidelines for conducting and reporting case study research in software engineering (2009, neutral): “There are three other major research methodologies which are related to case studies: & Survey, which is the “ collection of standardized information from a specific population, or some sample from one, usually, but not necessarily by means of a questionnaire or interview ” (Robson 2002).”
Duration, Dominance and Depth in Telephone and Face-to-Face Interviews: A Comparative Exploration (2011, background): “Most frequent among these is the benefit of resource savings: telephone interviews require less time and money because they do not involve travel (Robson, 2002; Shuy, 2003; Ruane, 2005; Fielding & Thomas, 2008).”
A method for evaluating rigor and industrial relevance of technology evaluations (2011, background): “This can be expected, however, as, in action research studies, researchers sometimes act as experts/investigators that drive change (Robson 2002).”
How Does Financial Literacy Promote Sustainability in SMEs? A Developing Country Perspective (2019, methodology): “A structured questionnaire was used to collect data; such questionnaires are an efficient method of collecting data on the values, opinions, attitudes or beliefs of a sample [88].”
Towards a more circular economy: exploring the awareness, practices, and barriers from a focal firm perspective (2018, methodology): “To ensure the validity and reliability of the questionnaire (Crowther and Lancaster 2008), a pilot study was conducted as suggested by Robson (2011).”
‘Am I not answering your questions properly?’ Clarification, adequacy and responsiveness in semi-structured telephone and face-to-face interviews (2013, background): “Indeed, while the absence of visual information is typically construed in text books as a disadvantage (e.g. Berg, 2007; Cresswell, 2007; Fielding and Thomas, 2008; Gillham, 2005; Robson, 2002), researchers giving personal accounts of conducting telephone interviews tend to offer more nuanced or cri”
